Race Face
Work Summary & Collector Notes
'Race Face' is a 2022 hand-pulled screen print from StolenSpace, D*Face's longtime London gallery. Built from 18 colours on heavyweight 370gsm Lambeth Drawing paper at 100 x 70cm, it is one of the artist's more technically ambitious editions, limited to 100 impressions and rendered in his signature comic-noir style.
Collector notes: First Edition; saved release record states an edition size of 100. Edition-specific signature, numbering, and stamp details were not stated in the saved release record. Verify signing and numbering against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
The 18-colour separation count is unusually high for a D*Face print and speaks to the layered, cinematic depth he pursues on paper. Paired with a tight edition of 100 and large-format sizing, 'Race Face' sits toward the collector-serious end of his StolenSpace output rather than the accessible entry tier.
Collector Perspective
Collectors weigh three levers here: the low edition of 100, the large 100 x 70cm footprint, and the hand-pulled 18-colour process that resists easy reproduction. StolenSpace provenance is a plus for authentication continuity. As a substantial format, framing and condition of the corners and margins will matter to discerning buyers.
Historical Context
Released in 2022 through StolenSpace, the gallery that has anchored D*Face's print program for years, 'Race Face' belongs to a mature phase of his career. By this point his visual language, drawn from American comics, pulp romance, and pop iconography, was fully codified, and StolenSpace editions were being produced to a consistently high print standard.

What paper is it on?
370gsm Lambeth Drawing paper, a heavyweight archival stock at 100 x 70cm.
